Save media files to Blackberry SD card - blackberry

Question

I am creating a multimedia app that allows the user to save wallpapers and ringtones. I know the path I need to save them to is "SDCard/BlackBerry/ringtones/file.mp3" (or "/pictures" for wallpapers). I have searched forums and post for a couple days and the only thing I found was how to write text files. For now, assume that the ringtones and pictures are saved in the projects resource folder. If you could provide any input, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

Saving anything should be about the same. Try something like this:
FileConnection fc;
try {
String fullFile = usedir + filename;
fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open(fullFile, Connector.READ_WRITE);
if (fc.exists()) {
Dialog.alert("file exists");
} else {
fc.create();
fileOS = fc.openOutputStream();
fileOS.write(raw_media_bytes, raw_offset, raw_length);
}
} catch (Exception x) {
Dialog.alert("file save error);
} finally {
try {
if (fileOS != null) {
fileOS.close();
}
if (fc != null) {
fc.close();
}
} catch (Exception y) {
}
}
usedir and filename are your path components, raw_media_bytes is your data, etc etc.

Thanks for your help cjp. Here is the code to saving a resource mp3 file to a sd card:
byte[] audioFile = null;
try {
Class cl = Class.forName("com.mycompany.myproject.myclass");
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("/" + audioClip);
audioFile = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(is);
try {
// Create folder if not already created
FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/ringtones/");
if (!fc.exists())
fc.mkdir();
fc.close();
// Create file
fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/ringtones/" + audioClip, Connector.READ_WRITE);
if (!fc.exists())
fc.create();
OutputStream outStream = fc.openOutputStream();
outStream.write(audioFile);
outStream.close();
fc.close();
Dialog.alert("Ringtone saved to BlackBerry SDcard.");
} catch (IOException ioe) {
Dialog.alert(ioe.toString());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Dialog.alert(e.toString());
}
As cjp pointed out, here is how to save an image resource to a SD card:
EncodedImage encImage = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource(file.jpg");
byte[] image = encImage.getData();
try {
// create folder as above (just change directory)
// create file as above (just change directory)
} catch(Exception e){}
